Choosing a pole vault pole

Choosing the right pole vault pole makes a real difference to performance and confidence in the pit. We stock poles by length, from 3m up to 5m, and by brand, so you can find the right pole vault pole for your vaulters at every level. Getting the length and rating right for each athlete is one of the most important decisions a coach or club will make, and our range is built to support vaulters as they progress from their first vault through to competition.

Nordic vaulting poles

Nordic vaulting poles are dependable poles with a strong reputation. Ideal for beginner to intermediate vaulters, they sit well within a quiver for clubs with vault squads encompassing a range of vault styles and levels. They have a consistent rating, so are great for athletes moving through the range, and a solid choice for clubs building out a shared pole store that needs to serve multiple vaulters at different stages.

Pacer One vaulting poles

Pacer One vaulting poles are a very versatile pole for beginner and intermediate athletes, and a firm favourite with coaches looking for a well performing, excellent value for money pole. They slow down the bend, allowing more time for the athlete to perfect their technique. This makes them a popular choice for vaulters who are still building consistency in their take off and plant, giving them a bit more room to work on technique without the pole reacting too quickly underneath them.

Pacer FXV vaulting poles

Pacer FXV vaulting poles are the flagship pole in Gill's range, perfect for greater heights and maximum PRs. Designed to roll to vertical more efficiently, the Pacer FXV makes it easier for the vaulter to synchronise the unbending of the pole during the later stages of the vault. It's the natural next step for vaulters who have outgrown a more forgiving training pole and are ready to compete for personal bests.
